Ever wonder how your yard can help protect our rivers and lakes? In this episode of Farmington Feed, we’re digging into Landscaping for Clean Water. This is a program that helps residents reimagine their lawns while making a real difference for the environment.

We’re joined by Brita Moore-Kutz, Communications & Outreach Specialist with the Vermilion River Watershed Joint Powers Organization (VRWJPO), and Lindsey Albright, Monitoring & Outreach Coordinator with Dakota County Soil & Water Conservation District (SWCD). They share how small changes in landscaping can have a big impact on water quality.

You’ll also hear:

• How Landscaping for Clean Water works and how much grant funding may be available
• Details on free intro classes (virtual options available this year)
• Tips from the Lawn Watering Wisdom campaign
• How to get involved through Adopt-A-Drain and storm drain stenciling

Registration is now open for Landscaping for Clean Water intro classes. While there are no in-person classes in Farmington this year, virtual options make it easy to participate from anywhere.

Tune in, get inspired, and learn how your lawn can be part of the solution!
